Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in
the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment,
which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail. Author Laura Hillenbrand brilliantly re-creates a universal
underdog story, one that proves life is a horse race

In 1943, while World War II raged on in the Pacific Theater, Lieutenant Louis Zamperini was the only survivor of a deadly
plane crash in the middle of the ocean. Zamperini had a troubled youth, yet honed his athletic skills and made it all the
way to the 1934 Olympics in Berlin. However, what lay before him was a physical gauntlet unlike anything he had encountered
before: thousands of miles of open ocean, a small raft, and no food or water

"On a May afternoon in 1943, an American military plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray
of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant,
the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary
sagas of the Second World War. The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini."--Jacket

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader's
Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled
his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War
II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When
his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life
raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and,
beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering
with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying
wire of his will. Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly
to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand. Hailed as the top nonfiction book of the year by Time magazine Winner of the
Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography and the Indies Choice Adult Nonfiction Book of the Year award "Extraordinarily
moving . . . a powerfully drawn survival epic." -- The Wall Street Journal "[A] one-in-a-billion story . . . designed to wrench
from self-respecting critics all the blurby adjectives we normally try to avoid: It is amazing, unforgettable, gripping, harrowing,
chilling, and inspiring." --New York "Staggering . . . mesmerizing . . . Hillenbrand's writing is so ferociously cinematic,
the events she describes so incredible, you don't dare take your eyes off the page." -- People "A meticulous, soaring and
beautifully written account of an extraordinary life." --The Washington Post "Ambitious and powerful . . . a startling narrative
and an inspirational book." --The New York Times Book Review "Magnificent . . . incredible . . . [Hillenbrand] has crafted
another masterful blend of sports, history and overcoming terrific odds; this is biography taken to the nth degree, a chronicle
of a remarkable life lived through extraordinary times." --The Dallas Morning News "An astonishing testament to the superhuman
power of tenacity." -- Entertainment Weekly "A tale of triumph and redemption . . . astonishingly detailed." -- O: The Oprah
Magazine "[A] masterfully told true story . . . nothing less than a marvel." -- Washingtonian "[Hillenbrand tells this] story
with cool elegance but at a thrilling sprinter's pace." --Time "Hillenbrand [is] one of our best writers of narrative history.
You don't have to be a sports fan or a war-history buff to devour this book--you just have to love great storytelling." --Rebecca
Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

on a journey that led to a doomed flight, a tiny raft, and thousands of miles of open ocean. Adrift on the foundering raft,

The #1 New York Times bestseller, which is also a major motion picture directed by Angelina Jolie, has now been adapted by
the author for young adults. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this riveting biography includes more than 100 black-and-white
photos, as well as exclusive content, "In Conversation," with Laura Hillenbrand and Louie Zamperini. "Every young person should
have the chance to read this book. It's easy to think, growing up, that bravery is for other people, who are simply born heroic.
But nothing about Louis marked him out for greatness. He started out as a misfit and troublemaker, but became a great man
because of his choices. His story shows that everyone has the potential to rise above obstacles. It is not where you start
out in life that counts the most, it is how you choose to face it."--Angelina Jolie On a May afternoon in 1943, an American
military plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline,
and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was
struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary sagas of the Second World War.
The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. As a boy, he had been a clever delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and
stealing. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a supreme talent that carried him to the
Berlin Olympics. But when war came, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a
tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a sinking
raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini
would respond to desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope and humor, brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph
or tragedy, would hang on the fraying wire of his will. In this captivating young adult edition of her award-winning #1 New
York Times bestseller, Laura Hillenbrand tells the story of a man's breathtaking odyssey and the courage, cunning, and fortitude
he found to endure and overcome. Lavishly illustrated with more than one hundred photographs and featuring an exclusive interview
with Zamperini, Unbroken will introduce a new generation to one of history's most thrilling survival epics. Praise for Unbroken
"This adaptation of Hillenbrand's adult bestseller is highly dramatic and exciting, as well as painful to read as it lays
bare man's hellish inhumanity to man."-- Booklist , STARRED "This captivating book emphasizes the importance of determination,
the will to survive against impossible odds, and support from family and friends. A strong, well-written work."-- School Library
Journal "This fine adaptation ably brings an inspiring tale to young readers."-- Kirkus Reviews From the Hardcover edition
